Reward Based RidingAuthor: Angelica Hesselius
A podcast about creating balance, using reward based training techniques with host Angelica Hesselius and guests. Coming from the view on horse training as enrichment we will look at ways to create a relaxed, gymnastically sound horse who wants to train as much as we do. Groundwork, riding, husbandry or vet care training all will work better if our horses is in balance. But what do different types of balance look like and how do we create it? This podcast aims to explore different ways of answering these questions as well as talking about the new tools we need to develop training with positive reinforcement techniques.

Starting to trot with your reward based horse
Saturday, 16 August, 2025
This episode is a recording from the CT Club, where I had a great conversation with Hannah Weston, followed by a Q&A for our active members. We talk about how to set up those very first trot transitions from the saddle, and what we each focus on to make it work. A lot of it comes back to: Checking that the trot is well-prepared from the ground Re-training cues if you’ve previously relied on pressure and struggled with motivation Using the environment to help build duration and decide how long we can stay in trot It’s also important to remember that stopping and reinforcing frequently is physically demanding for our horses, and something we need to consider carefully in the training process. 👉 Want to join the Riding School? : https://www.rewardbasedridingschool.com/
